They could have gone three ways. Attack Baird for going against the majority of Americans who want a pullout, attack him for being too sanguine about the deadlock in the Iraqi government, or attack him with anecdotal evidence that the Iraqis want us out right now which can be easily contradicted by various vets and embeds whose experience is quite different. Naturally, they went with the weakest of the three.

Presumably Jon Soltz is shocked and angered by the use of a photo of this guy in uniform for such a political purpose.

As a Marine, anyone who wants me to give up a mission and set defeat upon this country does not support the troops. That is a bunch of crap and I am very tired of hearing it from the leftist cowards who by shooting off their blow holes are endangering the very troops they lie about with their “We support the troops”

Wade – don’t forget – they think you all are “children”, forced into service by the lean, mean Bush machine. They truly don’t think in terms of our servicemen and women being ADULTS fully capable of making rational decisions on their own.
